I'm looking at doing more sports & wildlife & so have 3 critera i think are inportant (to me) .

High ISO
High FPS
Accurate / fast AF..

I think I've narrowed it down to the D3's, D4, D4s... Have I missed any & is the D4s really that good..?
 
If you have narrowed it down to the three mentioned then it has to be the D4s for me
 
any of those will do the job, i have a D4 myself

one thing that you may consider with the D4 D4s is that the second card slot is XQD rather than a second CF and if you use multiple cards XQD are very expensive

What is your budget and do you need video?

No budget - If the D4s is that good then thats the budget....
Dont require video....have never used it on any of my cameras...

Have plenty of very fast CF's so not an issue...
 
thats fine but if you want to use both slots at the same time with multiple cards, you will have to buy expensive XQD cards for the second slot and they start at £100 each. D3s has twin CF slots
 
If budget is not a problem and you can justify the D4s then go for this as the most recent and top of the Nikon Pro range cameras. The D3/D3s use only CF cards and don't have video capability. The low light capability whilst good is not as wide as that offered by the D4 variants.

Rumours of a D5 are only just beginning to surface and even if Nikon do announce it later in the year, it will be 2016 before it is likely on the shelves.
 
It doesn't have the frame rate... & is limited to 1/4000 (not that this is that great an issue by itself, just another nail in the coffin)
